CoreSite, Equinix, Level 3 Line Up For Amazon’s AWS Direct Connect

Amazon is the undeniable king of the the first public cloud era, and therefore it's into their infrastructure where the biggest demand for cloud connectivity has been and continues to be. And so today we have three major infrastructure providers announcing expanded support for AWS Direct Connect, which itself has been around for two years already.

And Level 3 is now an AWS Partner Network Technology Partner, offering private network connections to all AWS Direct Connect locations. Last week they unveiled a more general cloud connect solution, but of course we all knew AWS was one of the key pieces of that even if they did wait to announce it separately.
